We had so much fun making candle's at L's cabin. L's cabin is an original Missouri log cabin that was moved log by log and restored on L's farm. She and her husband added an upstairs to the cabin and porches. The view from the back porch is gorgeous with rolling hills, pasture, and trees. Her sheep were out in the pasture enjoying the nice November day.
Linda had the wood burning stove going inside where it was nice and warm. We had L's delicious homemade soup and homemade bread for lunch. We also brought cookies for our cookie exchange, and they were all yummy. The inside of the cabin has been decorated to look like you are stepping into an 1800's log cabin.
We each made 2 candles. We used soy wax heated to 240 degrees using an electric deep cooker. We placed the wicks inside pint-sized canning jars. For one candle, we used green coloring and Christmas scent. For the other candle, we used red coloring and cloves scent. We decorated the candles with cloves, cinnamon sticks, and jingle bells. They turned out so pretty. Thank you so much, L! We had such a wonderful time, and our candles look so festive!
